 About seventy-five members and friends of the Wesleyan Y. P. s. c. E. of the Metho- dist Episcopal church of West Haven took moonlight sail on the Sound last evening, leaving Richards dock about o'clock and returning about midnight

The members Of San Salvador council, Knights of Columbus, go on this excursion to-day. The sail from here to theKisland is delightful one and the shore dinner at the moderate price of half dollar is we'll worth taking the sail to obtain.
 TO GLEN ISLAND.

 FROM HARTFORD.
 Two attractive excursions are offered to those who leave on the special train from Hartford next Tuesday morning at 8. m. by the New York and New Haven railroad. The train will stop at Starin's dock, and the larger number will take the steamer and en- joy the beautiful sail down Long Island Sound to Glen Island. This will probably be the last opportunity this season for Hart ford people to visit this charming place. Those who prefer can go to Belle dock and take the steamer Elm City for New York and Coney Island, arriving there at 1 o'clock. The steamer on the return leaves the island at 5 p. m. Arrangements have been made with the railroad company to have the excur- sion tickets between Hartford and New Haven hold good for two days.
